Dielectric cavity resonator and a dielectric cavity filter having the same

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a dielectric cavity resonator, comprising: a metallic resonance cavity having a cuboid shape defining three orthogonal axes x, y, z substantially aligned with walls of the metallic resonance cavity and having a central axis extending in the z direction; a dielectric core provided in the metallic resonance cavity, the dielectric core comprising: a central part extending coaxially with respect to the central axis of the metallic resonance cavity; and four columnar parts arranged around the central part and integrally formed with the central part and each extending in the z direction and having a petal-like shape in an x-y cross-section perpendicular to the z direction, every two adjacent columnar parts being spaced by a groove, the dielectric core being centrosymmetric and axisymmetric in each x-y cross-section perpendicular to the z direction, wherein the metallic resonance cavity has a square cross-section, and in each petal-like cross-section, each columnar part extends in a direction of an adjacent corner area of corresponding square cross-section of the metallic resonance cavity, and a height of the central part is not greater than a height of a main body of each columnar part when measured in the z direction. The present disclosure also relates to a dielectric cavity filter comprising the above-mentioned dielectric cavity resonator.
